Girl with a One-Track Mind: Confessions of the Seductress Next Door

Love a juicy read.

This book was a wonderful and refreshing! Here I thought that I was the only woman in the world that felt like this! I of course suppress it more often then Ms. Abby does but, I have the thoughts and wettness all the same! She is great and NOT a freak. I think its awesome that a girl has finally had the "balls" to write about her true feelings!

This book is a completely uninhibited one year diary about a single lady's obsession with sex, experiments (bisexual, threesomes, s & m, you name it and it is there...) and her attempt to get into a serious relationship. It is very British in its language but the British slang makes it really warm. There are lots of (helpful?) sexual and relational tips for both men and women. And the eroticism hits you pleasantly. Definitely worth a read.

This erotic memoir is one of the most fun and real I've ever read. Abby is sexy and smart and adventurous and willing to share openly and honestly with the reader--because this book began as a blog and because she wrote it under an assumed name. If you want to know what a modern woman is really thinking--about sex and relationships and more sex, this is a great book.

I guess I will give this book 5 stars, not because it is a literary classic, but because it is probably the best book of its kind--a sex blog edited into book form. Abby Lee, subsequently "outed" as a London film technician Zoe Margolis, is a single woman in her thirties who spends a lot of time masturbating, having casual sex, and thinking about sex. She is very orgasmic and wonders if she is a nymphomaniac. Although the book is well written, witty, and contains lots of ruminations and information about sex, Abby/Zoe comes across as somewhat charmless and self absorbed, but we should probably discount this as, by definition, such qualities are surely innate to sex blog creators. Her online blog has been tremendously successful, and judging by the responses written by readers, appeals very much to the woman who leads an outwardly respectable life, but enjoys reading about another outwardly respectable woman who lives out her sexual fantasies, both for her own pleaure, and that of her readers while still remaining solidly middle class and easy to identify with. While sex blogs by prostitutes and/or escorts are two a penny, she is careful to distance herself from this field and expresses revulsion at the idea of selling sex. The author, like Bridget Jones, likes to compile lists of pros and cons, for example the pros and cons of large penises vs. smaller penises, which make interesting reading and are almost worth the price of admission on their own. I won't state her conclusions here in case I spoil it for you. The book is not particularly titillating, so readers looking for [...] fodder probably won't find much here. Although the author has a great sex life--at least it is great in terms that most men and some women would appreciate, in that she has many partners and lots of orgasms--there is a certain melancholic tone too. She is lonely and wants a real relationship, but while she can find sexual satisfaction with almost anyone, like Grace Slick in the heyday of Jefferson Airplane, she needs somebody to love, and that is what she does not have. You can speculate, if you wish, as to whether her supercharged sex drive is just evolution's way of telling her to start a family, but perhaps that is just going too far. She also seems to drink a lot, and while drinking is very much part of the London metrosexual culture, where it pretty much assumed that getting wasted is a good type of foreplay, I suspect that her appetites for both alcohol and sex are a standard deviation or two towards the higher end of the curve, though how they correlate is not made exactly clear in the book. Anyhow, the book is a minor classic, and if you are interested in sex--which a lot of people are--and you are not easily shocked,you will want to read this so that you will know what all the fuss is about, and have lots of ready-made conversation topics at your fingertips.

Didn't know a book could be that hot of a read. This is one fantastically kinky book.
